I will quit because of the Medals.

----In less than a day after this change about the medals :
“Medal changes

Starting Day 2,610 (12th of January), Freedom Fighter, Mercenary and True Patriot medals will award you 1,000 Currency (instead of the current value of 5 Gold).

Based on our studies, these medals didn’t reach their initial goal: to help the progress of the new players. More than this, they had a negative impact on the economic balance of the game, and with this change we aim to solve some of these issues.

We wanted to make this announcement early, so everyone will have plenty of time to prepare for this change, if needed. “

---I already read tens or even hundreds of players saying that they might quit the game because they will not be able to : get they training grounds to q4 like this , pay for they expenses , hunt the medals etc .

---Well i am pretty old in this game . I was e-born on 6 March 2009 so i have lot of experience ... to be more exact 2104 days . In this last over 5.5 years spent in erepublik i've seen lots of things and i will show you some of those :

1) I remember when i started this game . V1 : back than there were 6 main products : Iron (WRM) , Wheat (FRM) , Weapons , Bread , Gifts (every gift would recover someone else but yourself a certain quantity of hp - 10 gifts a day) and Houses . Everything was normal , but i remember that back that you could easily earn 1-2 gold / day with only a q2 food company and 4 employees ... it was amazing . I remember the fights , when no one used more powerful weapons than q1 and bh medals were won with damages of 3-4k . Every day you would receive 1 (ONE) strength by training .

2) After this there was V2 , also known as game worst period ever . V2 was a huge change in design , everything was new , you could receive more strength , the companies were less profitable and product prices droped a lot. The battlefield looked just like a Catan game with turns and players everyone owning a little space and protecting it ...

3) Back to the old design with some new things like a improved battlefield (the one that you use today) , less companies (no more gifts and houses or Wheat and Iron companies , just FRM and WRM) . It was prety much ok , for about 4 moths and after that there was a shortage in gold area . The prices started to went up a lot . At one point you could buy 1 gold for 3600 cc . That was insane . For about 6 moths that were the prices . After that the gold started droping slowly until in about another 6 moths it settled at about 300 cc /gold . Companies were still productive , you could win money even with q1 weapons or food and the most important thing , back then there was no such thing like CC , there were many different monetary markets each with different currency . You could own RON , USD , CNY etc every and single one of them having their own gold prices .

4) Well this is prety much the end , everything else is a known fact.

The main ideea is that there were some huge changes , some very bad , some prety good but i stayed . If you want to drop just because something like this , than go ahead but stop blaming Plato for this . After all the parodies and stuffs the truth is that they have only one concern : to fix the game to make the players
happy to bring in new people who can spend huge amounts of euros to get ahead of the old ones .

Bonus for the ones that are to lazy to read 😃
